Digital Photographer & Digital Photography Review
Why
Digital Photography?
How would you like to bring back lasting memories of the amazing creatures you saw
on your vacation? This class will enable you to do this.
It is actually 2 classes. One is designed for snorkelers and skin-divers. The other
is for SCUBA divers. Both have the same result. You will be able to prepare the
camera and housing for in-water use, then you will learn some "pro" photography
techniques to make your "raw" pictures turn out better. You can stop here, or we
can teach you how to edit your pictures for public display.
Why a Review class?
Going on vacation and want to practice with your camera? Jump in the pool and practice
buoyancy with your camera. Then you can have your pictures reviewed by a photography
professional who will provide tips for improvement. Or skip the pool session and
bring in your pictures for review. Student materials not required for this class,
but helpful.
